Today on Facebook Kevin Boyle posted some photos of an M123A1C owned by the Upton Massachusetts Division of Forestry many years ago. It turns out this is my truck, the external cage and the matching door insignia we found while prepping for paint are unmistakable. I never knew my truck was...

That's a lot of truck and parts for the money. And being an M123E2 it is rare too. The owner is a good guy who also posts here.

That's a lot of money for not much truck. There is a lot missing or damaged.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I have a little more work to do on my "Double D Cup Beauty" before I enter it for MV of the month. She's not quite road worthy yet.

That's an interesting build. I like the single rear tires !

Happy July 4th everyone ! Please be safe.

That is a nice piece, good luck with it ! The extra transfer case is crazy !

Unless someone changed some things around, (and they look pretty original) there were no Mack parts on these trucks. The axles were Timken. The early Diamond T's had the Diamond T emblem embossed on the radiator tank, but the later ones had nothing. The Diamond T's were 4 ton 6x6's, Mack built 6...

Cool pictures, thanks for posting them. I can help with the id's. The first two are Diamond T 972 (if they are original dump trucks) 4 ton 6x6's. The third photo is an open cab Diamond T 4 ton 6x6, probably a 968 cargo truck, but hard to say without a rear body. Last one is another Diamond...

There is a guy who recreated one of these, I don't recall his name but he had it on display at Frank Buck's back in 2019.

You're going to have to knock your house down to make room lol !

Happy Independence Day !!

Plowboy, that M26A1 does not look all that bad, especially if it comes with the Hall Scott. I would guess there are at least a dozen of these in the US, and more in Europe. I know of two collectors here that each have three, and three of the six run. The article you posted is pretty good but...

I live in Florida and just went through the process to get a permanent antique tag for my 10 ton M123A1C. It is always an adventure dealing with the DMV. It sounds like you already know that you can not get an antique tag for a large truck through the local DMV office, there is a form you have...

The front tires are 14:00-24 Goodyear All Service and in another place it says "MILITARY OZ". There is no other name on them. Unfortunately the sidewalls are not great and I will need to replace them. I would like to find a set of six of these or something similar as the truck had these type...
